Will check out the gnu solfege when I get a moment...quite the list of things on my plate right now. Hey, beautiful horse picture.!
So I made a list that might be even more practical than the 'classic' interval-tune reference list we have learned over the years,
(Happy Birthday,etc)...
Hope it will inspire folks to learn more tunes and to think of ones that might get forgotten as the generations move along. Please send in your first 5 if you feel like it. That way I can steal from all of you.
Ingrid's first five tune choices for interval development (I often end up practicing the whole tune once I get started and playing them in random keys as well)
1. 1/2 step melodies: What's New, The song is you ,Caravan, Invitation, STELLA! so many more, I know.
More to come... I am chosing tunes that start with the interval that is to be focused on more deeply. This is a good source to tap into as far as developing melodic material goes.
